How many pounds does a gold medal weigh?

Answer 1

It depends on the type of pound you are referring to. Gold and other precious metals are weighed in Troy Ounces. A Troy pound of gold contains 12 Troy ounces of gold. A Troy Ounce is about 1.1 normal ounces.

A pound of gold in the standard measuring system (avoirdupois) will weigh about 13.2 ounces.

So, an ounce of gold (troy) weighs more than an ounce of feathers (avoirdupois).

But a pound of gold (troy) weighs less than a pound of feathers (avoirdupois).

Answer 2

The olympic medals are not solid gold, silver or copper.

Each medal is about 70 mm in diameter and 6 mm thick.

The medal weighs about 150 grams. Only 6 grams of it is gold.

Answer 3

It obviously depends on how big the medal is.
